Clearly indicate the special issue title in the cover letter and manuscript metadata. This helps editors route the submission to the correct guest editor team.

Are review timelines different?
Timelines are similar, but guest editors may coordinate scheduling.
Can I submit a regular paper to a special issue?
Yes, if it aligns with the theme.
